“Cup of poison”: The style of bivol annoys fans, as Beterbiev calls it for the third fight in the middle of Benavidez

Turki Alashik reiterated his hopes last Saturday evening to make a trilogy between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivo after the defeat of the majority decision of Deterbiev in 12 rounds on the Riyadh website. After the fight, Beterbiev (21-1, 20 KB) already said that he wanted the trilogy match.

Beterbiev was naturally unhappy with the results of his revenge match because he seemed to have done enough to win the fight, but the judges gave him to Bivo (24-1, 12 KB). The scores were 115-113, 116-112 and 114-114. Bivol was especially running the whole fight, not engaging and made him very boring for fans.

Run and not box

I looked at the fight twice and I had Betbiev winning 7-5 on the first vision and 8-4 on the second. He deserved victoryBut the judges worked with their score, giving it to Bivo. I did not have a dog in this hunt and I didn’t care who won the fight of Beterbiev-Bivol 2, but I saw him as a clear victory for Beterbiev. Bivol looked like a star star, flowing around the ring, not wanting to get involved, take down and make a mess of the fight. So horrible to watch.

“He deserves it, and we want to see the third,” Turki Alashikh told the Trample About his want to make the trilogy between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivo. “If Artur accepts, we will have the third.”

People on social networks say they don’t want to see a third fight and are more partial to David Benavidez Obtain a crack at the four titles against Bivol or, preferably, against Beterbiev. It is the much more entertaining fight. If the ultimate goal is to entertain the fans and not to bother them, Betbiev against Benavidez is the way to follow. Bivo’s combat style is a poison cup For fans.

As we saw in this boxing era, the titles are no longer important. It is more about entertaining fans. Runners like Dmitry Bivol and Shakur Stevenson do not belong to headliners or even on the main cards. They belong to preliminary cards. Turki wants to save boxing, but he works against his goal by putting fights that will not entertain occasional fans, who only look at sport on rare occasions. For sport, runners should be placed on preliminary cards and main combatants that appeal to fans.

“Of course, we are not 16 years old. We are almost 40 years old (Correction: Beterbiev is 40 years old), and I do not shake my opponent’s hand is a little weird, but if it is like that, not of problem, “said Bivo to the mediarevealing that Beterbiev did not want to shake her hand after their fight.

“I came to him after the fight in the ring, and I told him that I respect him, and I shook my hand. After that, he spoke to Turki Alashikh, and he came to us, and he said: “I will not shake your hand until the third fight” and I congratulated him.

“It doesn’t matter,” said Bivol when he was asked if he prefers to fight Beterbiev or David Benavidez afterwards. “I could be better,” said Dmitry to find out if he will be better in the trilogy with Artur. “I was not 100% satisfied with what I did in the ring.”
